"Allegiance," based on Takei's childhood, follows a Japanese-American family forced to live in a U.S. internment camp.

The show also stars Tony winner Lea Salonga and Telly Leung.

Salonga, whose 9-year-old daughter plans to dress as Lt. Uhura, says she is looking forward to seeing "Trek" characters out in the audience.

"Allegiance" is currently in previews at the Longacre Theatre and opens Nov. 8.
